Hi!!!! I got my lap band "my baby" on 11/12 with dr. Rami lutfi in Chicago. I love this app and so far everyone I've encountered have been wonderful!!! I'm looking for a buddy or mentor who I can chat with!

I was banded on 11/10 at Day One by Dr. Ellie. Surgery was a lot quicker than I thought. I also had my hernia repaired so the healing is taking a little longer.

I think I may have went back to work too early. My biggest cut kinda hurts, mostly because I picked up a grocery bag. I know very stupid on my part. So far my hungry is not too bad. Between shakes and tuna or baked fish I get up to about 800 calories a day.

Oh no. I hope you're feeling a little better. I was going to go back to work 5 days after surgery but I had to go back to the hospital and I just took that as a sign to stay home another week. I'm sure the boss isn't happy about it but oh well!! Ugh I wish I could eat fish or tuna!! I'm still on a liquid diet and next week I get to progress into mushy food for another two weeks, and then I can have soft solids!!! My hungries are killing me!! :'(

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
